As a fairly new resident of West Memphis I read your article on Tackers Shake Shack with great interest as a new place to eat I had never heard of. Scanned article as I may there was no line that gave an address or phone. If the article was prepared by Tackers they missed a great opportunity to bring in new guests. I suppose I can just start asking people if they ever heard of Tacker and its location. [ Editor’s Note: As a lifelong Crittenden County resident, it seems odd for someone to not know where the Shake Shack is. It’s the same feeling I get when I realize people go to Memphis as a vacation destination. I suppose they should have, indeed, included their address in their write- up, but in case you still have your paper, if you look directly below the write- up, on the left side, you’ll see not only a coupon for a buy- one, get- onehalf- off fish plate at Tacker’s, but also the address, phone number, and store hours. Just in case you don’t have it, though, I’ll let you know, it’s 409 Military Rd., in Marion.

Try it!]

*** It’s pretty simple folks, the new Marion made STOP Signs that are half the proper size just means you give half a stop!!!

[ Editor’s Note: I’ve got news for you, buddy… they’re already half- stopping at the regular stop signs. I will add, though, that Marion just can’t seem to get its stop signs together. Some of them are short, some are way too tall, some are smaller that a regular stop sign ( the actual sign part, I mean).

At least they’re all red, I guess]

*** I enjoy going 2 different churches, some people call it church hopping, maybe it is but this is a free nation. Not only is it a free nation but I am a full grown man minding my own business. [ Editor’s Note: I’ll be 43 next month, and I can honestly say I’ve never heard of anyone telling anyone else they were going to “ too many churches.” I can’t even imagine the scenario in which this would take place… “ Jeff, I couldn’t help but notice you pulling out of the Methodist Church last Sunday. Now, we Presbyterians, we’re a onechurch- at- a- time kind of people. You know, Jesus got an hour with you already today, so maybe you should just go on over to Cracker Barrel.” Anyway, you just keep running the circuit. I’m sure the Lord will be able to find you]

*** This is not as weird as you might think, you can save 1.25 to 2.50 per carton at times. As far already have silver hair and bronze skin so we could use grocery and every day household products. You know, at one time I subscribed to C. Appeal and at times it paid for itself with coupons, well my arthritis is telling my fingers to stop and rest now so thanks again. [ Editor’s Note: I had to read through this a couple of times to get a handle on it, but I finally figured out you were talking about types of coupons you’d like to see in the paper ( I think). I will pass this information on to our Advertising Department. Thanks!]

*** Who has so much hate for Gordan Floyd to keep texting stupid stiff everyday. I’m sure whoever it is has never done anything for anyone but themselves. If your so upset put name on the text. [ Editor’s Note: Seriously, no more Gordon Floyd, good or bad! ( Puts fingers in ears) La, la, la, la, la, I can’t hear you, la, la, la, la, la]

*** They can't close the bridge. That would end in chaos and nothing else with all the traffic coming through. [ Editor’s Note: I would like to nominate this anonymous texter for president of the Tennessee Department of Transportation! He or she has already shown more commono sense and foresight in these 19 words than TDOT representatives have in over a year’s worth of meetings and press releases]
